Stunning series of images . 

It does not match with entry in FOI . 
Moreover , Rhynchosia is known for its two seeded pods , which it is not . 
Reminds me of Cajanus scarabaeoides , not a 100 % match though .

Thanks, Rakesh ji, for leading the right direction.
Keys in Flora of Bhutan lead me to Cajanus elongates.
Pl. check at GBIF
To me  appears close.

Thank you Mr. Garg / Dr. Rakesh ! 

I guess Mr. Garg has given the correct ID because elevation for Cajanus scarabaeoides
does not match.

Enclosing one link for further analysis.

In the pdf you sent
its from 2018

ad its listed that
Cajanus scarabaeoides id found in 10 m to 1500 m asl
( in their ecology section of each species: lowest I found was 800m asl for c. goensis,and
rest were found all the way up to  upto 1800m asl .)

What aspect do you have doubts about?
If it is calyx, calyx here is mentioned as 
"Calyx cup-shaped; tube 3-5 mm long; lobes linear-lanceolate or narrowly triangular, unequal, 5-9 x 1-2 mm; two upper calyx lobes connate for up to half of their length; outside moderately to densely hairy and with sessile glands; inside glabrous."

Some friends suggested it to be Cajanus crassus (Prain ex King) Maesen but the 
elevation does not match.
Thank you.
